Presentation of Dashnak

Quoting Political Handbook of the World, 1997:

Originally founded in 1891 and the ruling party in
pre-Soviet Armenia, the HHD retained a
substantial following in the Armenian diaspora after it had been
outlawed by the Bolsheviks in 1920.
Reestablished in 1991 as a nationalist and socialist opposition
party, the HHD (popularly known as Dashnak) nominated the
actor Sos Sargsian in the October 1991 presidential election, but he
received only 4 percent of the votes. In 1992 the party struck a
public chord with its criticism of the governments's conduct of the
war in Nagorno-Karabagh. The government
responded by alleging that the HHD leaders in exile had for many
years cooperated with Soviet security authorities. In June 1994 the
HHD parliamentary leader, Gagik Ovanessian, was expelled from the
party for publicly criticizing its "Bolshevik" methods. In late
December 1994 the HHD was suspended by presidential decree, on the
grounds that it had engaged in terrorism, political assassination and
drug-trafficking. It was therefore unable to contest the July 1995
election as a party. Although over 100 Dashnak candidates stood as
individuals in the majoritarian component of the balloting, only one
was elected. In March 1996, 31 party members were put on trial in
Yerevan, charged with involvement in an abortive coup attempt at the
time of the July 1995 elections.

A photo
shows a more complex party emblem, lined in golden yellow, made of crossed sword, feather pen, spade and red flag; date "1890", half left and half right of the flag
holding hand, encircled by the lettering "Հ.Յ.Դ."
("H.Y.D.", above), and "ՄԱՀ ԿԱՄ
ԱՁԱՏՈԻԹԻԻՆ"
(Mah kam ajatoiṭiin); the first being apparently the party acronym and second, set all in capitals, the party motto "Freedom or death".
